- Is this the same as 3400 mg of actual magnesium?
- No. The 3400 mg refers to the combined blend of magnesium forms and taurine. Elemental magnesium per serving is much lower, so check the supplement facts for the actual magnesium amount.
- Why seven forms instead of one?
- Each form absorbs differently; glycinate and citrate are well tolerated, while oxide is cheaper but poorly absorbed. A blend tries to cover several routes at once, though each form is present in a smaller dose.
- Can I take it for sleep every night?
- Magnesium is generally considered safe at label doses for healthy adults. Check with a doctor if you have kidney problems or take other medications, since magnesium can interact with some drugs.
- Does it contain taurine, and why?
- Yes, taurine is included alongside the magnesium. It is an amino acid often paired with magnesium for muscle and calm support, though evidence for the pairing is limited.
- Is it gluten free and suitable for vegetarians?
- It is labeled gluten free. Check the capsule shell ingredients if you avoid gelatin, since that determines whether it suits vegetarians.
- Where is the Pure 7 Magnesium Complex 3400 mg Sleep Muscle Health Chelated cheapest?
- At The Vitamin Shoppe, for $29.99, as of our latest check.
